I can be in Atlanta on Friday with all the "horn blowing" crazies and wake up on Saturday morning under a Toccoa sky. That's now and who knows how long it will last. But the one thing I do know is that I love breakfast at BJ's in Toccoa. In fact, I diet all week [...]

One of my favorite places to visit is Tallulah Gorge. I always titled my posts of this area "Living above the Rim." But that was when I was living only twenty minutes away. This day, the winter shadows were long and the gorge was dark. It was an expected view though I always forget that [...]
